<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Invoked by <em>git send-pack</em> and updates the repository with the
information fed from the remote end.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
The UI for the protocol is on the <em>git send-pack</em> side, and the
program pair is meant to be used to push updates to remote
repository.  For pull operations, see <a href="git-fetch-pack.html">git-fetch-pack(1)</a>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The command allows for creation and fast-forwarding of sha1 refs
(heads/tags) on the remote end (strictly speaking, it is the
local end <em>git-receive-pack</em> runs, but to the user who is sitting at
the send-pack end, it is updating the remote.  Confused?)</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are other real-world examples of using update and
post-update hooks found in the Documentation/howto directory.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>git-receive-pack</em> honours the receive.denyNonFastForwards config
option, which tells it if updates to a ref should be denied if they
are not fast-forwards.</p></div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_pre_receive_hook">pre-receive Hook</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Before any ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive file exists
and is executable, it will be invoked once with no parameters.  The
standard input of the hook will be one line per ref to be updated:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>sha1-old SP sha1-new SP refname LF</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
head this is "refs/heads/master".  The two sha1 values before
each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
the update.  Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to 0{40},
while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to 0{40}, otherwise
sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in the repository.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When accepting a signed push (see <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>), the signed
push certificate is stored in a blob and an environment variable
<code>GIT_PUSH_CERT</code> can be consulted for its object name.  See the
description of <code>post-receive</code> hook for an example.  In addition, the
certificate is verified using GPG and the result is exported with
the following environment variables:</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>GIT_PUSH_CERT_SIGNER</code>

        The status of GPG verification of the push certificate,

        The nonce string the process asked the signer to include
        in the push certificate.  If this does not match the value
        recorded on the "nonce" header in the push certificate, it
        may indicate that the certificate is a valid one that is
        being replayed from a separate "git push" session.

<div class="paragraph"><p>This hook is called before any refname is updated and before any
fast-forward checks are performed.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If the pre-receive hook exits with a non-zero exit status no updates
will be performed, and the update, post-receive and post-update
hooks will not be invoked either.  This can be useful to quickly
bail out if the update is not to be supported.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
head this is "refs/heads/master".  The two sha1 arguments are
the object names for the refname before and after the update.
Note that the hook is called before the refname is updated,
so either sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet),
or it should match what is recorded in refname.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The hook should exit with non-zero status if it wants to disallow
updating the named ref.  Otherwise it should exit with zero.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Successful execution (a zero exit status) of this hook does not
ensure the ref will actually be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
As such it is not a good idea to send notices (e.g. email) from
this hook.  Consider using the post-receive hook instead.</p></div>
